Music of the Times

From the moment we first met with James we knew he was the DJ for us. He was easy to talk to, down to earth, and made sure that our day was all about US. He worked flawlessly with all of our other vendors and did an amazing job of keeping us on schedule. He was unobtrusive and honored our requests perfectly. A bad DJ can ruin a wedding and I feel like its all about personality. James Hock was perfect and having him for our DJ was an amazing decision. I would choose him again in a heartbeat and recommend him a million times over!

DJ Jim did a fabulous job at our wedding a few weeks ago. Jim was knowledgeable, flexible, and listened to our music preferences. Our initial planning call helped set the stage for the event and right away, we could tell that we were going to make an excellent decision booking him for our event! We had a lot of good ideas about what music we wanted during the ceremony and reception, and he stayed true to that. Just before dinner, we had a HUGE thunderstorm pass through...Jim capitalized on this and infused some fun rain-themed tunes into the playlist before jumping back into our original set list. We appreciated that little touch. Our reception and ceremony was at the same venue (but different areas of the property), and he did an excellent job setting up the equipment and sound to seamlessly transition between ceremony and the cocktail hour. Several friends came up to us during the event or afterward to compliment us on how great the music was and what a good time they had dancing. If you are looking for a DJ who will get and keep your party on the dance floor, look no further!

Very affordable, but excellent. James had great ideas for us and took time to go through the entire ceremony and reception so we knew what was to come. He really worked with our style to make the night perfect for us!

It was a truly wonderful experience working with Jim throughout our wedding planning! He was very accommodating to our requests, brought in another DJ when we realized we needed 3 areas set-up for sound (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception), and was very helpful when we met with him in person! On the wedding day, he showed up on time, was very professional, and I thought he may have been reading my mind because he played all the right music at the right times! Jim also did uplighting for our reception hall and it looked great! We had a fabulous time and Jim really helped to make it perfect!

Jeremy from Music of the Times was a wonderful DJ. He found and played every song that we asked for, and filled in the rest of the playlist with music from the genres we selected. And he made sure that no songs on our "do not play" list were played, even if guests requested them. Our parents were concerned about the volume (that it would be too loud during dinner), but it was perfect the whole time.

Jim was such a professional. He catered everything to what we wanted and was very accomodating in meeting us any time before the wedding.

Jeremy was so easy to work with! We had a wedding band and they wouldn't MC or make announcements so we hired Jeremy. He was great! He kept things on schedule (I'm a bit of a control freak!) and was fun to work with. The cost was VERY reasonable. My only complaint is that there was some random popping in the speakers during our first dance :( other than that it was perfect!

Jim was a fantastic DJ! He was on time and played exactly what we wanted him to! He announced everything in a timely manner and kept the party going.

We hired Jim to do the sound for our ceremony and music for our reception on October 1, 2011. Though he was very professional and his price was reasonable, we had several problems. During the ceremony, the microphone did not work for our two readers. Then, a horrible squeaking sound (feedback) came through the speakers several times as we were saying our vows and while our pastor was speaking. Later, when he announced the bridal party, he mispronounced three names... my maid of honor, a groomsman, AND MY NEW LAST NAME! This happened even after he inquired about the correct pronunciation several times. He also incorrectly played our entrance song, which we timed out and went over with him in detail. Finally, he did not play the songs my husband and I asked for during the reception. Music is incredibly important to my husband and I... we met at a music concert! We put a lot of thought into the music we wanted. We gave Jim a list of songs to play during dinner and later for dancing. We gave him several CDs with special songs we listened to during our courtship. We gave him a DO NOT play list. My husband and I were so disappointed because we heard almost none of what we asked for, and one of the songs we asked him NOT to play! Thankfully, he correctly played our first and last dance and mother/groom, father/bride songs. He asked us who our favorite bands are, and then played NONE of their music. We gave him so many great suggestions, but we ended up dancing to some cheesy unknown love song for the second-to-last dance. Like I said before, he was professional and his price was fair. He showed up when he was supposed to and was easy to communicate with. It's ironic that he was the vendor we were LEAST worried about, and then ended up doing the worst job. I would not recommend him to any couple unless music is not that important to them and they simply want a fair price. ADVICE FOR COUPLES WHO LOVE MUSIC: Micromanage your DJ's set list! Write down every song you want to hear and when you want it played. Leave very little room for them to play their own choices. I regret that we didn't do this... we are laid back people and we felt we could trust him. Your reception will go very quickly, so even a few disappointing song choices will make a difference. Good luck... and happy wedding!

We were extremely pleased with Jeremy from Music of the Times. He was friendly, professional, and definately knows what he's doing. They have a wonderful packkage that covers sound systems for both the ceremony and reception!! Their prices are the best that we've seen. Even cheaper than one of our friends quoted us (our friend is a DJ). None of the DJs we looked at had an affordable option for 2 sound systems, which is what we needed since we had an outdoor wedding with the receotion in a tent. Jeremy was so fun to work with and did an awesome job of keeping everyone having a great time!

Our DJ was awesome and handled everything. The schedule we originally set changed a lot as the night went on we moved things around but he handled everything. I did not have to worry about one thing.
